A refined mathematical model is now capable of predicting carbon inputs and outputs for freshwater lakes around the world, according to new research from INSTAAR’s Isabella Oleksy and collaborators.

While snowmelt is a major contributor to river flow, thawing permafrost is becoming increasingly important. Beneath the surface lies a layer of soil that freezes and thaws each year, known as the ...

Wetlands stand as immensely important carbon sinks within the global ecosystem, instrumental in absorbing greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and mitigating the consequences of global warming.

One in a new generation of computer climate models that include the effects of Earth’s carbon cycle indicates there are limits to the planet’s ability to absorb increased emissions of carbon dioxide.

Lakes have long been viewed as sources of carbon dioxide emissions, but new research suggests they may actually act as carbon sinks. A study led by Uppsala University reveals that lake shorelines ...

SARI's model tracks "embedded carbon" — the carbon footprint hidden inside a finished product — to show that the person or ...

SHANGHAI -- China unveiled a new large model for carbon emission accounting on Wednesday, marking a major technological ...
